IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BURNERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 140,030, dated June1'7, 1873; application filed July 24, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Moses F. GALE, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented certain Improvements in Vapor-Burners, of which thefollowing is a specification:

This invention relates to certain improvements in vapor-burners providedwith a retort to vaporize the fluid; and consists of a construction andarrangement of parts which will be fully hereinafter described.

Figure 1 represents the burner completed. Fig. 2 is a sectional view ofthe same.

The tube forming the body of the burner is shown at A, the upper endbeing closed by a screw-plug, as at B. A short distance below said plugis the inlet-tube G, to conduct the fluid from the reservoir to theretort or vaporizing-chamber shown at E, and which is formed in the tubeA by fastening therein a diaphragm of metal just above the holes for thejets, as at F. Said retort may be charged with various substances fordistributing and purifying the vapor previous to its passage through thetube G, which connects said retort with the regulating-chamber H. Thistube may be arranged to conduct the vapor from the retort outside of thetube A, as well as inside, as here shown. The chamber at H is formed inthe lower end of the tube A, similar to the retort, but is provided witha valve, as at K, which regulates the flow of the vapor to the holes atM, where the jets are formed that give the required light. At N a holeis formed in the side of the tube Ato supply the requisite quantity ofair to the vapor for good combustion.

A drip-cup, as at 0, may be attached to the lower end of the tube A tocatch the condensed vapor or leakage, if any should occur.

The full pressure of the reservoir may be permitted within the retort,as the supply is properly regulated by the valve below.

I therefore claim- The tube A provided with the tube G,vaporizing-chamber E, perforated diaphragm F, chamber H, valve K, andinlet-pipe 0, all constructed and arranged substantially as and for thepurpose described.
